From Gardens to GrowthWhat began as a response to food insecurity during the pandemic grew into one of Rotary’s most impactful international collaborations. Through the efforts of 154 Rotary clubs across 28 districts, the 1,000 Survival Garden Kits Project raised over $300,000, delivering 1,281 water rollers and garden kits to 34 Southern African communities — empowering more than 10,000 people. This success stands as a powerful testament to Rotary’s reach, compassion, and ability to mobilize at scale. Now, that same energy and momentum are shifting toward scaling water access through the new Eco Water Roller — a South African–designed and manufactured innovation built to extend Rotary’s proven impact even further. The Eco Water Roller Scaling Project builds on the success of the Survival Garden Kits initiative, expanding Rotary’s reach across Southern Africa and empowering even more families through access to water.
